Honda CBR600 F4i Charging Problem - Fault Identification & Rectification

[@timselbie3419]

Just had my reg/rectifier replaced on my 06 cbr,as you say a known weak point on Honda's. Thanks for the in-depth testing,very informative.

[@ryanharriss7950]

Always having stator and rectifier issues with my R6's. Nice job with the adaptor plate and the bike bike itself looks to be in good nick for age. 👍

[@KevsShed]

Thanks 👍

[@riadduff2683]

My batttery does dies on my f4i aswell it the voltage remains the same at idle but when rev it the voltage goes up

[@davidbathe4108]

Really enjoyed that I also ride a CBR 600 which I have issues with and will start investigating Thank you for your tuition 👻🏍

[@KevsShed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Slowboi335xi]

this video was super informational and i think I have a good direction to go on my 01 f4i. Thank you!!

[@justblairthompson]

Great vid, very timely for me, because it's on my list of things to do on my Kwak 750 GPX.

Great video, very clear and informative, (This from someone who needs to read the instructions to change a light bulb).

[@KevsShed]

Glad it was helpful!👍

Diagnosed and fixed mine with this video ;]

Thanks a million 😊

[@angelofdeath032]

god bless you for making this video, do you mind telling me what all tools you used to take the bike apart and all the wiring components you used exactly in the video (i have a 02 so this should fairly work the same)

[@roblavery6303]

Great video as always. Changing my regulator at the moment as have already swapped out a stator. Do you use 12 gauge for both the battery wires and the stator?

[@KevsShed]

Cheers mate, on this kit I used 14 Gauge for the Stator cables and 12 Gauge for the battery cables👍

[@ivivkarilsiviv]

hey i just replaced by R/R the old one was over charging the battery and boiled the battery and it also killed my head lights i have the new R/R on but now the bike cranks but doesn't start also befor the R/R showed up the new battery was on and the bike would turn on with the old R/R

[@faroles21]

What rectifier model is that? Looks like it gives a good output power. Mine is working but at low RPM it doesn't generate enough power.

[@davidfrank9997]

So if it's same cover I've been looking at( yes a year later) they recommend putting right on top of old cover, was that possible? Just curious

[@damiandavid1177]

If it would fail the stator test what would it mean? Stator is shot or bad ground somewhere? Cheers

[@Yobori]

Hey Buddy I have the same bike a 04 cbr 600 f4i there is a single green wire on the sub harness that has the speed sensor and oil pressure pulls on it do you know where it plugs to I can’t find it thanks in advance

[@KevsShed]

Neutral Switch chap! ;) 👍

[@Bikeadelic]

I have a cbr600fy the one a year before this modle. It was the last of the carbs. I has a problem where the battery wont charge but it passes every test in the manual. I cant seem to replicate the tests in this video because the looms are different. The rectifier plug has all 5 wires in 1 and its not clear where the posotive end up other than the posotive terminal lead which i used. I'm stumped. So frustrated because it happened on the day of my ferry to the isle of man so i had no bike while i was there.

[@KevsShed]

If the battery won't charge then there has to be a fault with either the Stator, Rectifier or an earth problem. If your Stator and R/R are testing OK then I would begin looking for a crusty earth somewhere.

[@Bikeadelic]

@@KevsShed I tested for an earth fault and the tests were a pass. Should I just start testing earth continuity between connectors and looms? Also do you know of a rectifier kit for the 2000 year model? Theres only 1 conector for the rectifier with all 5 cables going to it. Alternatively I could buy all new connectors and speerate the stator wires from the output wires.

[@Bikeadelic]

@@KevsShed tested a bunch again today. Stator resistance - 0.2 ohms each Good earth Stator output - idle 13v ish, 5000rpm 55v ish (I have really bad memory but they passed) RR output - idle 14.3v, 5000rpm 32v Voltage on battery while off 13.3v Volatge while running drops constantly until it cuts out. I think thats everything i rechecked today.

[@KevsShed]

I am making the obvious assumption that the battery is in sound health of course!

[@Bikeadelic]

@@KevsShed it is! It's a lithium ion battery. I also tried a brand new acid battery but that didn't help.

[@Bikeadelic]

Where did he get those rear sets/wnat are they?

[@KevsShed]

Hey bud, they are Harris Rearsets. They were on the bike when he bought it though. No idea if they are still available. I reckon eBay would be your best bet though.

[@Bikeadelic]

@@KevsShed thanks for both of your replies!

[@chupilotv123]

Ihave same problem i check stator its good i check the diode of recti all ok but bike still not charging

[@feodiente9460]

Ever find out the problem??
